Massage and transformative energy

Relax and unwind in this integrated bodywork session, receiving focused attention on your most overworked muscle groups, applying styles from Swedish, Deep Tissue, Acupressure, Thai, and Reflexology.

From a holistic approach to problems and disease, we listen intuitively and knowingly guide guests through the massage treatment experience professionally and in a very nurturing manner. Each massage session is customized to the specific needs of the guest. Concerns and questions are always welcomed throughout the session at any time. After the initial consultation to gain insight, the bodywork session will typically begin face down with initial focus on the upper back (neck and shoulders) as well as the lower lumbar. Light and broad strokes are used to warm the body as well as scan for tension and knots or stagnant, cool areas. More specific strokes are then utilized such as kneading, rolling and lifting or stretching the soft tissue. After several passes over a muscle group, light touch strokes are used to balance the various muscle groups and stimulate the lymphatic response. Treatment of the legs and feet will follow in this fashion and will end with long, full body strokes to fully integrate the upper and lower extremities. This helps the guest integrate the reduction of muscle tension and increased circulation in the whole body.

Next, after turning over to lie on their back, guests are treated with Craniosacral head, neck and spine extension from underneath the body. Using slow, light pressure points, a deep relaxation and calming effect occurs and this technique unwittingly resets the nervous system. Continuing this balancing, Reflexology work on the bottoms of the feet are then used to create a pathway to undo the charges and triggers of the nervous system. Mental clarity and freed energy begin to be felt as more deep relaxation will ensue. The neck, shoulders arms, hands and fingers then receive detailed stretching, lengthening and unwinding. Thai massage, deep tissue and acupressure are used in combination at specific points and areas in need. The light touch strokes complete this part of the session leaving the guest feeling light and tingly.

Depending on the time and needs of the guest, careful Sports Massage hamstring and hip opening stretches are precisely performed to deepen and extend flexibility and to, again, reconnect the upper and lower parts of the body. Traction of the legs and then the head and neck will elongate the whole structure and balance the energies awakened and freed up in the body. A signature light touch of three full body strokes ends the massage perfectly. Guests are left to breath in the new space within, integrate and experience their body and energy shifts and feel lighter and more whole.
